Re: Not working: HELP
Thanks Mike. I have just finished double checking everything,
physically. No problems found so far. I am not able to detect the oscillator
at the crystal frequency. I think this, for whatever

Re: Not working: HELP
C6/C7 is ok. I double checked each of these with a LC Meter IIB as I was
putting them in. They both are labeled 101J. C12/C13 are correct also. I
double checked the windings of T1, and it looks

Re: SSB demod, was Re: carrirer oscillator
Cecil,
I just had a look at the powerSDR-SR40 code. Looking at sdr.c line, I
can see that the signal is indeed at 11025 Hz. The RX oscillator runs
at -11025 hz. Now, does that mean, the spectrum we

Re: SSB demod, was Re: carrirer oscillator
Frank,
Looking at the picture:

I couldn't understand how the mixing down to the magic number 11250 is
obtained.. Would you mind explaining

Re: SSB demod, was Re: carrirer oscillator
The SoftRock itself doesn't convert all input signal to 11,250Hz, it has a fixed crystal oscillator, were the signal ends up depends where in the pass-band the original signal is. Some will be at 1KHz

Thanks,,, very fun following the list. I'm not likely to get involved with this type project at the hardware level, my current interests are mostly tube gear, but current interests do change over

Re: Not working: HELP
If you want to run from a 6 volt wall wart you should consider the changes by N1RX to substitute a 7805 for Q1 (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/softrock40/message/114).

Computers can be quirky! Try using the microphone input on your computer
instead of the line input just be be sure thats not what its trying to get
input from. If you have a scope, feed a signal into

I do not hear a carrier at any of those freqs. I double checked my

Hi Stan,
the S9 carrier at 7.056 is normal (even without the device powered).
If you have a scope you can should check the clock signals that are shown on the schematic (QSD Timing Diagram) and also

Re: carrirer oscillator
Oh, and remember: Shannon's Theorem only addresses bandwidth, not
absolute frequency. Having the signal sampled in quadrature means the
phase of the signal is disambiguated, since the I and Q parts

Here's the deal. Shannon's Theorem tells you that you need 2N bits/sec
to capture N bits of bandwidth. If you're only sampling the real part,

Re: carrirer oscillator
Normally yes, to sample 48KHz signals you need 96KHz sampling rate, but the I and Q are quadrature signals and are only at 24 KHz each.
7036KHz 20 KHz signal
7046KHz 10 KHz signal
7056KHz 0 KHz

Hi Art,
Yes to all for questions below. Both I and Q channels are being individually sampled at 48 kHz which provides for the 48 kHz of bandwidth.

Re: carrirer oscillator
The PC is able to "put" a phoney carrier anywhere in that 48KHz space
so that the signal is demodulated correctly into audio.
This is the answer I wanted to know for the POwerSDR sotfware.
